My youngest, we done with a professional. It was approved on their system. When I uploaded it, it got automatically refused! I’d already spent 2 weeks trying to get a photo of him and was running out of time. I sent the professional one with a note saying it was accepted by the system they use! And that was accepted.
No more updates here. Day 28 of processing for 2 child renewals. We travel 5 weeks today. I’m genuinely flabbergasted that their system is so messy! How can applications have such different timings.
